3 of 5 stars Reviewed 29 April 2012

Nice location close to town. The rooms were suprisingly bug-free and comfortable for sleeping. The room was about as clean as you'd expect when 1/3 of the wall space is made up of screens. One highlight was being able to see hummingbirds outside from the shower. The staff was fine, not overly great, but by no means rude. Breakfast every... More

During our stay, not all the staff was friendly. Shower is OK, although water wasn't that hot, but refreshing. Breakfast, swimmingpool was OK. Dinner we took at a restaurant 5 minutes walk (when leaving Azania on your left) "El Sol de la Caribe". Good food, reasonable prices. Friendly.

We stayed here a few days ago. it was nice but still feel over priced at $100 a night... in keeping with our general feeling of being over charged for food and accommodation throughout Costa Rica. Having said that there were only 2 of us and a bungaow would sleep 4 so $100 between 4 ppl would not be too... More

Having previously stayed at the bungalows for a couple of years, my husband and I did so again last month (Jan 2012). As we were interested in retiring to the area, Azania was perfectly situated for us to hone in on the nuances of the 'neighborhoods'. Unfortunately, our future took a significant turn, when we were attacked while we were... More

Stayed Jan 4th to the 8th, 2012. Beautiful grounds, good breakfasts, better dinners. Some other posts I read were that staff was less than friendly. I am barely able to communicate in Spanish, but found that showing an interest in learning about the area and the people brought out a very warm and helpful aspect in everyone, from housekeeping (Doris)...

We had a wonderful stay at Azania -- loved the bungalow, lush grounds (with sloths in the trees!), accessible nice beach, INCREDIBLE complimentary breakfasts (fresh fruit, custom-made eggs), and friendly staff. We loved being able to get around by bike, but we agree with a previous reviewer about the traffic making it stressful and definitely not an option at night... More

Azania Bungalows is a nice place to stay. The staff at the front desk and restaurant staff are very nice. The landscaping on the hotel grounds is amazing. We felt like we were in the middle of the rainforest. Unfortunately, the bungalows are a bit close and since the walls are mostly screens, you hear everything your neighbor says. This... More

what a disappointment... first the good.. nice grounds and clean bungalows. BUT, we felt like intruders all week. The main complaint for us is the service. The owner lurks around the property, never says hello and gives you a sideways glance as you sit in his lobby as if to say"what.. you're STILL here?". You start to feel like a... More

My husband and I stayed here for 6 nights during our honeymoon in September 2010. It is a small property with private bungalows hidden in beautiful landscaping. The staff at the hotel was wonderful! Our goal was to find a vacation spot where we could relax and enjoy the surroundings and not have to do the planning. We would let... More
